Skip to comments.Mother fights hospital to keep baby on life support (Terri's Legacy)
Posted on 06/01/2006 7:20:27 AM PDT by 8mmMauser
click here to read article
This was Medicaid fraud at its finest if you consider she was in a terminal six month or less facility for FIVE YEARS not getting any therapy at all because Mikey ordered no therapy back in 1993. Hospices cannot do therapy and they are not licensed for chronic care. Terri was in a bad place for five years without the right treatment.
MEDICAID FRAUD so taxpayers did pay. Mikey and his lawyers made Terri a pauper so they could stick her in a hospice. Finally, when Mikey filed joint tax returns, he didn't share part of the tax refund with Terri. He took it all. Mikey didn't even get Terri's wheelchair fixed because if it was fixed, she could have gone outside, gone anywhere, even into judge greer's courtroom so that the crooked judge and everyone else would have noticed that Terri was alert and aware of her surroundings.
Terri was caged and nobody could see her because the secret would have been out that she was not pvs.
FIVE YEARS IMPRISONED by the hospice, courts, medicaid, DCF, and ACHA systems. Terri would be alive today if they hadn't taken away her Ensure and water.
But, the cops at Hospice Woodside were only there to make sure that Terri would die. They weren't there to protect and to serve. They were there to back up murderous Judge George Greer, a republican who I'm hoping will get impeached and thrown in jail before long. It could happen when the Bushes term out. It could easily happen.
So, we lost Dr. Death and Mr. Ethics (bioethics).
The medical providers don't seem to be noting "vital signs". That's the best indicator if someone is near death or not.
It's supposed to be about the downside of organ donation. It's even bad for the recipient in many instances. (I wonder if they will discuss the organ harvesting in China of Christians and dissenters.)
"The body is still alive, yes, and deserves respect. But, clinically, the person is dead."
Trouble is, "clinically" could be wrong.
This was in "Our Sunday Visitor," the April 10, 2005 edition, & the author is Lori Hadacek Chaplin.
It was suggested to a doctor that they pull the plug of a little baby's ventilator, because he had flat brain waves. The doctor did not, and little Joseph not only lived, but went on to receive straight A's in school, run track and play baseball.
The doctor, Dr. Byrne, is now a clinical professor of pediatrics at the Medical College of Ohio and HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT VOICE against using brain-wave criteria for DETERMINING DEATH.
So how should that determination be made?
I might have thought so once. Now I don't, for two reasons.
One, "brain death" was an invention (1960s) for the specific purpose of harvesting body organs for transplantion. In other words, there is an ulterior motive for the diagnosis of "brain death." The ulterior motive is not for the good of the patient but for the purposes of the hospital. It is not to be trusted.
Before that, everyone knew what death was -- when ALL body function ceased. But when the body dies, the organs spoil. So, a committee at Harvard invented "brain death" in order to assert that a comatose patient was "dead" and carve him up for his organs while they are still fresh.
Two, organs for transplantation are worth a great deal of money. By carving up a live "brain dead" patient for his organs, a medical facility can (a) eliminate the cost of care for that person and (b) make a big profit on his organs. Obviously, money now becomes a factor in what should be purely medical decisions. In insurance, this is called a Moral Hazard. The prospect of profit leads hospitals (and especially their so-called "ethics" committees) to cut corners, gloss over moral questions and otherwise make decisions that may actually kill a viable patient.
The original Harvard conditions for diagnosis "brain death" were fairly rigorous, but with that strong money incentive to get transplant organs, standards have loosened. The "ethics" committees rationalize a kind of medical cannibalism, arguing that even if they do kill some innocent patients, those patients' organs help to save other lives. For one example in my own extended family, a person was chopped up for organs despite being able to breathe on his own (= not brain dead) and also despite written refusal to donate his organs. They paid no attention to his wishes.
You are right that the diagnosis of "PVS" is highly subjective. No two medics call it the same way. It is so sloppy and vague that the "PVS" diagnosis mostly seems to be an excuse to euthanize unwanted patients. It ought to be tossed out.
May you find forgiveness, Dr. Cranford. Requiescant in Pace.
"So how should that determination be made?"
That's a good question.
When the heart stops beating, you know for sure, and other vital signs. I'm not an expert, but I do know that I would get many opinions and do much research if doctors were too quick to say that my loved one was "brain dead."
In my research one person that I would e-mail is wesleyjsmith.com, and as pro-life as he is, even he would not be my ONLY deciding factor for a loved one.
Also, please read T'wit's really informative post #160.
"(I wonder if they will discuss the organ harvesting in China of Christians and dissenters.)"
I kind of doubt if CNN will say anything negative about their favorite country.
Aside that, I hope CNN's show about organs is/was informative, though.
I have been unable to find any followup stories on baby Daniel. Some updates must have occurred by now.
So you don't know. And since you don't know, well, then I suppose we have have to keep people alive forever on machines.
Yep, despite the patient's wishes, despite the emotional and financial cost to the survivors, Sun says that we should keep the loved one alive as long as science allows, since we can never "really be sure".
Good answer. Thanks a lot for your contribuition to the thread -- which obviously consists of nothing more than telling people how they're wrong without saying what's right.
Have you noticed the similarities between Haleigh's case and Baby Daniel's? Both children are -- God help them! -- in the custody of state child protection agencies, and in both cases the bureaucrats have been perfectly willing to bump them off early, regardless of relatives' wishes. Do you suppose state agencies are in bed with the human chop shops that trade in organs?
I believe both children were described in identical words, "nearly brain dead." Now, that is not medical terminology. It's too vague to describe any recognized medical condition. The bureaucrats invoke "brain death" in order to justify killing the children (and to cover their sorry butts). But the children are not brain dead.
Haleigh fooled her executioners and got better. So far as we've heard, she's getting good care now. Baby Daniel could get better too if he gets the chance. Sun (above) reported a case where a child made a surprising recovery. But are these cases such a surprise? Children, especially infants, have a far greater capacity to transcend brain injuries than adults. They should always get the benefit of the doubt. They should get extra care and recovery time.
Show us one case of Sun "telling people how they're wrong"?
I looked at all of Sun's posts and couldn't find anything the least bit inappropriate. On the contrary, they are models of courteous, grown-up communication. The true story related in #157 is to the point, informative and inspirational -- a fine contribution to this thread.
I stated that a person with no brain activity is dead. Sun said I was wrong in the very same post to which you referred.
Did she not? I don't care that she cited some bogus story. And the issue isn't whether the story is bogus.
Did she imply by referencing that story that I was wrong or didn't she?
And what about the fact that Sun offers no statement as to when a person IS dead?
No. You said "telling people." Sun didn't "tell" you that you were wrong (or anything else) but merely stated -- accurately -- that "clinically" the statement "could" be wrong. That is the correct, impersonal way to put things.
You had no complaint.
What a weaselly explanation! What a bunch of unadulterated bull$hit.
So there is a way of assessing death where the person cannot be wrong? I didn't see it mentioned, though I asked for it.
It's easy to sit at the keyboard and say "this poster is wrong" and "that poster is wrong" and "you're wrong" and "he's wrong". It's another to say this is the right way.
Wouldn't you agree?
You sure get testy when people disagree with you. You are rude, and worse, you downright lie.
I have been polite to you, and honest. That's probably because I'm secure in my beliefs, while you are not.
I said in my post that I would research if my loved one were in that predicament, and get other opinions. Is that bad advice? Do you have blind belief in everything a doctor says? Hope not.
Did you read T'wit's post #160? Are you afraid to read it?
Here's my post again, and compare it with your response to me, and you will see that robertpaulsen has a knee-jerk reaction to a post without reading it very well.
"That's a good question.
When the heart stops beating, you know for sure, and other vital signs. I'm not an expert, but I do know that I would get many opinions and do much research if doctors were too quick to say that my loved one was "brain dead."

"No. You said "telling people." Sun didn't "tell" you that you were wrong (or anything else) but merely stated -- accurately -- that "clinically" the statement "could" be wrong. That is the correct, impersonal way to put things.
You had no complaint."
Thank you. I couldn't have said it better.
Fine. So that's your answer.
In Terri Schiavo's case, that's exactly what they did. And they determined she was PVS and clinically dead. Therefore, based on your own criteria, you agree with their assessment.
You are digressing, which shows you have been bested.
He even told the Shindlers how well she did, just like he told Terri how well she did. I know that gets you down to bed rock, like me.
Aren't you forgeting that the autopsy said niether?
> Aren't you forgeting that the autopsy said niether?
The M.E. said that Terri was essentially healthy and could have been expected to live at least ten more years. That in itself is strong evidence that Terri was in at least a "minimally conscious" state. PVS patients seldom live long.
All that matters is what Cranford told Greer, which was the opposite. He was, if you strip away the niceties, hired to kill Terri and for no other reason. They imported him all the way from Minnesota to say those magic words that make it legal to kill her -- Terri is "PVS." He said the words. He made a career of saying the words. He never failed to say them. That made the vote 3-to-2 in favor of putting Terri to death.
Ain't "science" wonderful?
Cut the potty talk.
Digressing? I simply took your criteria and applied it to Terri's case.
If that makes you uncomfortable to the point where you feel a need to (mis)characterize my actions, so be it.
How could it? The autopsy report clearly stated, "The Persistent Vegetative State and the minimally conscious state are clinical diagnoses, not pathological ones".
The pathologist is not in a position to make that call.
Assuming she had wanted to, of course. Which she didn't.
"That in itself is strong evidence that Terri was in at least a "minimally conscious" state."
No it's not. The pathologist is in no position to determine minimally conscious state. He stated that in his autopsy report.
Baby Daniel was pronounced "almost" brain dead, not by doctors (who would not use such a term among themselves) but by state bureaucrats. That often means they want to cut him up for his organs. Very profitable business.
"Almost" brain dead doesn't mean anything, medically. "Brain dead" doesn't really mean "dead," either. It means a comatose, unreflexive condition thought -- thought -- to be irreversible.
The tests for it are quite horrible. The patient is banged around brutally (people who have watched it tell me they cringed). The docs try to cause pain, put ice water in the ears, shine bright lights in the eyes and suchlike. (See this site for a detailed discussion, especially the warnings and pitfalls: Testing for death by brain criteria. ) The tests are to insure (as best we can) that the patient is utterly unresponsive in brain function. (For my two cents, the stricter the standards, the better.)
Note that one of the criteria is lack of brain-stem function, meaning that the patient cannot breathe unaided. A patient who can breathe is not "brain dead." Karen Ann Quinlan was not "brain dead." Neither is Sunny von Bulow, possibly the victim of attempted murder by insulin poisoning in a famous case in 1980, who is comatose but is still alive and lovingly tended all these years later.
In the end we don't really know. It is impossible to test a brain from the outside and find "mind" on the inside. Mind is and always has been a mystery. It is certainly possible that "brain dead" patients are aware of their surroundings. Occasionally one of them wakes up and says so. Perhaps such a person was a misdiagnosed case in the first place and the others are truly "mind dead." Perhaps not. We don't know.
Of course it is. You entirely missed the point. Terri's longevity was the medical evidence that her mental activity was higher than PVS. She had substantially outlived expectancy for PVS. (And was given at least ten more years by the M.E. on top of that.)
Your thinking here is a fountain of confusion.
You said she was dead. Now you say she wanted to die. But you see, according to you, she already did die. She could not have wanted to die because she was already dead, you said. She could not have been dead because she didn't want to go on living, you said.
Fun! :-)
Her physical condition was an indicator of her mental ability. Uh-huh.
It seems to me that her physical condition was a tribute to how well Michael took care of her.
That's what medical statistics say, yes. That Terri survived so long, and would have lived a good deal longer if she hadn't been put to death, is certainly strong evidence that she was misdiagnosed as PVS.
No, it's the way you're interpreting those medical statistics.
If the statistics say that an average PVS patient lives 10 years, and Terri lived for 15, you're saying Terri does not have PVS. I'm speechless when faced with this kind of "logic".
Such as trying to kill her by denying her antibiotics for her urinary tract infection? You remember, he testified that he had indeed tried to kill her (caring man that he is).
Women do love their excruciating urinary tract infections! Right, ladies? And they find it SO romantic when their husband makes them die in agony! Right, ladies?
Nope. What I said is above for anyone to read. Your interpretations are unnecessary and incorrect.
>> I'm speechless
Is that a promise?
After this testimony, did the judge then remove Michael as her guardian? The fact that he didn't should put this "murderous act" in perspective.
It does not make Michael's admitted attempt to kill his wife any less illegal.
It does put the judge into perspective, doesn't it? Judges are perforce officers of the court, sworn to uphold the law. Here it is uncontested that Michael flouted the law, and that he admitted it under oath. The judge did nothing. Thank you for that fascinating detail.
Future historians will have a field day tracking the court bias in the Terri Schiavo case.
"thus proving that the original "futile care" decision was the correct one."
Denying medical care to a sick person isn't justified simply because they died while still receiving care. We all go naturally at some point. There's a distinct difference between Ms. Clark's natural death and the hospitals desires to kill her.
Murder by ommision is never a "correct" decision.
I'm not interested in killing anyone.
Something stinks about hospitals only claiming futility on cases that lack any factors to solicit public sympathy.
Note: Sun Hudson's mother was quite crazy, claiming that Sun was conceived by the Sun itself.
Spiro Nikolouzos,Yenlang Vo, and Tirhas Habtegiris=all immigrants.
Like lions- they never hunt for the fastest, healthiest prey, but go after the weakest and easiest victim. They never go for the upper-middle class white soccer moms, but those who are poor, disenfranchised or otherwise lack support. The futility vultures choose their victims carefully, playing on the prejudices, moral bankruptcy and apathy of our culture of death.
A brain damaged child is still a child. You don't throw away human beings like bruised tomatoes because of a disability.
Your hyperbole is not applicable to the discussion. Hospitals are free to determine who they will treat and who they will ask to seek care at another facility. An ethics committee at Houston Hermann Hospital made a decision that Ms. Clark was terminal, and that another facility would have to be sought for long-term care for her.
The decision was delayed, and during that delay, Ms. Clark died. It appears that, in fact, she was terminal.
Hospitals always give families the option to find a facility that will provide the care they need for their loved one.

The prime focus of this work is in developing a protocol for a symbiotic architecture called Cognitive Relaying with Time Incentive for Multiple Primary Users (CRTI-M). The rationale of CRTI-M is that the Primary Users (PUs) of a Cognitive Radio (CR) network, with weak transmission links, seek cooperation from the cognitive Secondary User (SU) nodes in their vicinity, and in return reward them with an incentive time for their own communication. Each PU has its own distinct bandwidth of operation; however, when relaying through the SU network it can use the bandwidth of the other PUs as well to enhance its throughput. A cross-layer optimization problem is formulated to that effect in a multi-hop multi-channel SU network. The time incentive that should be awarded to the SUs by each PU is analyzed by means of a utility-based decision-making process, and its efficient utilization is proposed. To make the CRTI-M scheme practically realizable, a MAC scheduling protocol is devised within a unified framework of the PUs and SUs. Simulation results are furnished to demonstrate the proof of concept.

Zipit 2
I have the Zipit 2.How can I IM to someone elses Zipit? I don't always see my IM friends under the "MyFriendz" column. Do they have to be online in order for me to see their IM names listed or should their IM names always show on my list even though they aren't online or on their zipit? The only names I see all of the time are those who I can text to their phones. For instance I set up an IM account in Yahoo for my niece so she can use her Zipit. I can't send her messages to her Zipit because her name doesn't appear on my "MyFriendz" list. Same thing for her. She can only text to someones phone and not to a Zipit. And yes I did add her and she added me. I do however see all of those I've added both text and IM frinds when I click on "Delete My Friendz". They are all there so I know they are added. Please help!

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Product Description
From Amazon
Nalo Hopkinson has been challenging readers and changing the face of science fiction since her critically acclaimed first novel, Brown Girl in the Ring. With her fourth book, The Salt Roads, Hopkinson transcends all categories of genre and establishes herself fully as a literary master. The Salt Roads is an epic tale of hardship and struggle that spans the lives of three black women in radically different historical circumstances: Mer, a slave woman living on a brutal plantation on Haiti; Jeanne Duval, a poor dancer who has a lifelong affair with poet Charles Baudelaire; and Meritet, a Nubian prostitute who becomes St. Mary of Egypt. The individual tales of the women are bound together by Ezili, a goddess who inhabits each of their minds in a quest for self-identity.
The Salt Roads contains strong elements of fantasy--a shapeshifter plays a prominent role in one of the storylines, and there are elements of magic throughout--but this is really a book about history and the inherited narratives of the past. Hopkinson's characters provide new perspectives on a wide range of these narratives, from biblical stories to the mythology surrounding Baudelaire and his poetry. As the three women struggle to escape lives of subjugation and humiliation, The Salt Roads undermines any notion of identity politics, its characters shifting and sliding through the boundaries of race, gender, sex, and social class, and in the process revealing the underlying instability of much of the foundations of Western culture. The Salt Roads is a multi-layered and poignant journey through our past, one that moves through suffering, loss, and longing but never loses hope. Hopkinson may offer a vision of torment and injustice, but she also presents a dream of liberty from the chains of history itself. --Peter Darbyshire --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Whirling with witchcraft and sensuality, this latest novel by Hopkinson (Skin Folk; Midnight Robber) is a globe-spanning, time-traveling spiritual odyssey. When three Caribbean slave women, led by dignified doctress Mer, assemble to bury a stillborn baby on the island of Saint Domingue (just before it is renamed Haiti in 1804), Ezili, the Afro-Caribbean goddess of love and sex, is called up by their prayers and lamentations. Drawing from the deceased infant's "unused vitality," Ezili inhabits the bodies of a number of women who, despite their remoteness from each other in time and space, are bound to each other by salt-be it the salt of tears or the salt that baptized slaves into an alien religion. The goddess's most frequent vehicle is Jeanne Duval, a 19th-century mulatto French entertainer who has a long-running affair with bohemian poet Charles Baudelaire. There is also fourth-century Nubian prostitute Meritet, who leaves a house of ill repute to follow a horde of sailors, but finds religion and a call to sainthood. Meanwhile, the seed of revolution is planted in Saint Domingue as the slaves hatch a plan to bring down their white masters. Ezili yearns to break free from Jeanne's body to act elsewhere, but can do so only when Jeanne, now infected with syphilis, is deep in dreams. Fearing that she will disappear when death finally calls Jeanne, Ezili is drawn into the body of Mer at a cataclysmic moment and is just as quickly tossed back into other narratives. Though occasionally overwrought, the novel has a genuine vitality and generosity. Epic and frenetic, it traces the physical and spiritual ties that bind its characters to each other and to the earth.

Mer is a healer woman held in slavery on a plantation in late 18th century Saint Domingue, which will someday become Haiti. Jeanne Duval is a dancer and mistress to the writer/critic Charles Beaudelaire in mid-19th France. Thais is half Nubian/half Greek dancing girl/prostitute in late 4th century Alexandria, Egypt; she gives rise to the legend of Saint Mary of Egypt.
The fourth character connects the other three together. She is Ezili, the Afro-Caribbean lwa/ancestor spirit/goddess. Ezili has many aspects, but is commonly thought of as the mother ocean goddess and the names and nicknames of the characters reflect this: Mer (sea in French), lemer, Meritat (Thais's Egyptian name given to her by her friend Neferkare). Unbeknownst to the three women, Ezili rides them, that is, she possesses them for reasons that even Ezili doesn't understand. At first, the reader, like the characters doesn't know what is going on, but as the book progresses it becomes clearer.
This is a novel of sorrow and celebration, of bondage and liberation, of strength and perseverance. Ezili's siren song sounds both strange and powerful to my ears.
The first woman who hosts Ezili is Jeanne Duval, a half-black, half-white dancer, who has captured the heart of poet Charles Baudelaire in 1842 Paris. Baudelaire is Jeanne's only hope for the future, as her present is riddled by poverty and it's inherent pitfalls. The poet comes from a wealthy family, although his mother eventually disowns him after his many years of cohabitation with his sultry and sensual mistress. The reader sees Paris through the eyes of this woman, who pleasures a wealthy man to maintain her place in society.
Changing time and place, in 1792 the island of Saint Dominigue's economy is driven by sugar cane, the slaves endlessly toiling in the fields, harvesting the lucrative cane crop. Most of these slaves have come on slave ships from Africa, their life spans shortened by perpetual hunger and exotic diseases indigenous to the island. The second visitation of the goddess is through Mer, an older slave. Gifted in the healing arts, Mer attends the slaves on the plantation, burdened by her intimate awareness of their shameful existence. Mer communicates directly with the ocean goddess, who speaks to her of salt: the salt of tears, of the ocean and the womanly rites of passage.Read more ›
Although these women exist during different time periods, Ezili seems to emerge, exist, and influence each woman simultaneously. With Jeanne, she appears in dreams, and wants to live, act, and breathe through her until Jeanne is physically scarred and disabled from the ravages of a sexually transmitted disease. Mer receives her awakening during a riverside burial ceremony of a stillborn child and Meritet has an instance of self-awareness that allows her to experience the independence of Ezili.
Aside from the Ezili storyline, each main character has her fair share of drama, heartbreak, and intrigue. Each are a victim of circumstance; in worlds that were cruel to the black woman. Mer deals with the harsh reality of plantation life and the impending slave revolt that secured Haiti its freedom from colonial rule. The author expertly embeds regional history and folklore into Mer's story. An aging Jeanne struggles with securing her future as a courtesan in a world in which her skin color places her at a disadvantage and Meritet journeys from whoredom to sainthood.
This book is full of symbolism (the incorporation of the value, taste, and healing power of salt, etc. throughout the novel is superb).Read more ›

World Briefing | Asia: Vietnam: Russians To Leave Cam Ranh Bay
Published: June 9, 2001
The government will not extend Russia's lease on its sole military base in Southeast Asia when it runs out in 2004, the Foreign Ministry announced. Instead, it plans to use the natural harbor and facilities of Cam Ranh Bay for civilian economic development. The base, built by the United States during the Vietnam War, served as a Soviet listening post in the 1980's and as a runway for Soviet nuclear bombers, intelligence officials have said.

Campus Housing:
Living on campus at the University of Pittsburgh is a joy. Although some of the dorms are more comfortable and spacious than others, most of the campus dormitory buildings are clean, secure, and convenient. Some of the better dorms include: PA Hall, Panther Hall, Sutherland Hall, and dorms in the quad area. The dorms most students try to avoid are: Tower A, B, and C and Lothrop Hall. Most of the dorms are fun. The resident assistants create safe, usually non-drinking, programs for their residents to get to know one another; so, most student's closest friends include roommates and floor mates from their freshman year. It is more expensive to live in a campus dorm than to find an apartment off campus, but it is a lot more convenient to do so. To find a good dorm, you must draft a good number in the lottery. Overall, housing at Pitt is about average and it could be better, but I think most of the university's students are satisfied.
Local Area:
Pittsburgh is a wonderful city. Most students at the University of Pittsburgh limit themselves to Oakland, the school's neighborhood, but if you explore the rest of the city, you will find that Pittsburgh is a fantastic place to explore. Some things to take advantage of as a student include: Pittsburgh's Cultural District, Carnegie Museums, the Duquesne Incline, and the fantastic food, to name a few. There are plenty of students at other schools and universities to interact with like: Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University, Robert Morris University, Point Park University, Chatham University, and Carlow University.
The campus police are pretty strict about underage drinking and illegal drug use in campus buildings. First-time offenders usually get a citation; some are asked to do community service. Second and third-time offenders are in danger of losing their housing and at risk for getting other penalties. It is best to stay away from trouble all together. Keep your nose clean and you shouldn't have any trouble.
Campus Housing:
Freshman dorms are decent- convenient and centrally located. Upperclassman dorms are larger, nicer, and more spread out on campus.
Campus Food:
A few "all you can eat" places, where you swipe your card and can get as much as you want. Several other smaller convenience type places. Could have some more variety, but pretty typical "college food."
There are several computer labs and printing stations located around campus, but computers are usually slow. I prefer to use my own computer for school work unless I am quickly checking emails or printing out a quick file.
Parking is a nightmare. Garages/lots are exorbitantly expensive. Street permits are reasonably priced ($25 for each calendar year), but it is near impossible to find a spot (especially in the winter months). Pittsburgh Parking Authority also gives tickets for random reasons, so expect to get several parking tickets if you park on the street (even if you are parked legally, they'll make up a reason to ticket you).
It rains a lot, and it's a pretty far walk to class from off campus apartments/housing.
There's a free shuttle, and public transportation is also free (both bus and T).
Campus Quality:
I loved having classes and studying in the Cathedral of Learning. I loved the Gothic atmosphere and the Nationality Rooms especially.
Campus Quality:
Pitt is a great school. One of the best things about it is that it's close to a lot of entertainment and employment opportunities not associated with the school itself. It's not like other schools located out in cowtowns that have nothing to do but drink every night for entertainment.
Campus Quality:
They are all up to date with modern facilities. Great athletic dept. With new fitness center. Also, they definitely get students involved with different volunteer activities.
I did not receive any scholarships from Pitt even though I was in the top ten of my class, but did not have super sat scores.
Campus Quality:
I really like the fact that the campus is close to/ in a city, but I definitely did not feel overwhelmed with the city itself. I like the sporting events along with clubs and activities to get the students involved.
Leave your car at home. You really won't need it here and parking is lacking and expensive. Students can ride all public transit for free.
Off-Campus Dining:
Pittsburgh is a thriving culinary hot spot. Immediately in Oakland you have a plethora of restaurants spanning the realm of international cuisines. In neighboring communities the restaurants just get better.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are many restaurants around the area, but some of the nicer ones you may need a bus to get to.
Diversity is rich at Pitt. This is one of my favorite things about going here. Despite all the cultural, racial, ethnic, religious, sexual orientation differences, it really seems like a cohesive unit where everyone gets along well.
Guys & Girls:
Any and all types of people attend Pitt. The diversity of students is amazing and everyone seems to be friendly, intellectual, and hip no matter what ethnic background. There are many international students, as well as domestic and local students. All types and styles of clothing are worn. Social life ranges from bars and clubs to more sophisticated and cultural. Pitt really offers a great mix of just about everything, and it all blends well together!
Campus Food:
Pitt offers a diverse set of options for dining in spread-out locations, offering different prices and hours depending on where you are and what you want. I am completely happy.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are many options for dining around campus. You can usually find just about anything you're looking for. Also, almost all restaurants are within walking distance.
There are buses that take you practically everywhere, but during certain times, they can be crowded. (Students get free transportation, so that's still a plus.)
Basketball is hugely popular. Sitting in the Oakland Zoo is an experience every students has ti have as a Pitt student.
Port Authority city buses are all free and easy to use. Just a quick ride to the Waterfrnot, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and other exciting neighborhoods.
There are a lot of computers around the campus. I don't usually go, but whenever I walk by a lab, it doesn't seem that crowded, so there's always a chance to use one if you need to.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, students agree that they wouldn't trade their Pitt experience for anything. As with most decisions, there are a lot of things to consider. If you don't like living in a city environment, Pittsburgh may not be the place for you. While it doesn't have the feel of New York of Philadelphia, the area is definitely urban. Also, Pitt is a large school—you're in for some big lecture classes and a somewhat overwhelming campus during the first year or so. Everything will seem to get smaller after you've been around awhile, though. Weather can be a concern if you're used to a warmer climate—snow, rain, and wind rule Pittsburgh winters. This is something that you can easily get used to though, unless you're a diehard warm weather fan.
What Pitt does offer is high-caliber academics, plenty of student organizations, and countless opportunities, such as study abroad, cultural activities, and sports. If you're willing to become active on campus, there's a lot more to Pitt than meets the eye. The University's location can also be a great advantage—Pittsburgh itself is a great city that is a positive environment for students to live and learn in, thanks in part to the city being home to a number of colleges and universities. The social scene is always jumping, locals are friendly, and there's always something to do if you explore a little. The best idea is to visit and try to get a feel for the area. You can get the same quality education at Pitt that can be found in many smaller, expensive schools, but here you'll pay less to have a vibrant city right at your doorstep.

Antivirus software from Symantec Corp. may cause the installation of Service Pack 3 for XP to corrupt the Windows Registry by adding unnecessary keys.
Symantec advises users to disable the SymProtect security feature of its products before applying XP SP3.
A Registry fix is needed by the latest XP patch
The latest in the continuing series of problems related to Windows XP Service Pack 3 involves Symantec's Norton AntiVirus. The company recommends that users disable the program's self-protection feature before installing XP SP3.
In a post to Norton's support forum, Symantec senior SQA manager Reese Anschultz suggests that customers disable the SymProtect feature found in various Symantec security products:
• To do this in Norton Internet Security 2008 and Norton AntiVirus 2008, uncheck Turn on protection for Norton products on the Options pages of these programs prior to installing XP SP3. Once the service pack is in place, return to the Options page and re-enable this setting.
• In Norton SystemWorks 2008, open the Advanced Options under Settings, click Next, choose Norton SystemWorks Options, and select the General tab. Uncheck Turn on protection for my Symantec product.

Bound For An Inaugural Ball? Here's Where To Get Your Amazing Outfit
President Obama won't be sworn in for a second term until January 21, but the post-election and pre-inauguration celebrations are already picking up — along with all those holiday parties and formal family gatherings in the not-so-distant future, too. To ensure that you're equipped with the perfect dress for your next fancy, seasonal event, Hu's Wear is teaming up with famed L.A. vintage boutique Decades and Champagne powerhouse Dom Pérignon to bring you a special Inauguration Salon.
And, naturally, since nobody gets inaugural fever like we do here in the District, it's only fitting that this will be unlike any pop-up shop you've ever experienced. Launched last night and running through the end of November, the salon offers an overflowing array of exclusive designer and couture gowns by Chanel, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, and Christian Dior, just to name a few. You'll also find an impressive rotating stock of shoes, bags, jewelry, and other accessories from contemporary brands, like Katie Ermilio, Judith Leiber, and Nikki Baker.
Craving some bubbly for the occasion? The window displays are built from special David Lynch-designed bottles of Dom Pérignon, which staffers will periodically pop and serve to guests (you can scoop your own at Pearson's or Schneider's for $150). Even if you're not attending a ball this winter, it's worth the trip just for the swoon factor.
When: Now through Friday, November 30. Hours are Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.
Where: 2906 M Street NW; 202-342-2020.

Simplifying Backups with Zmanda Recovery Manager
Most modern enterprises process immense amounts of data as part of their day-to-day operations. On-demand access to this data is critical, and most enterprises invest heavily in relational database technologies to manage their data. Cutting-edge technologies at cost-effective prices have led many enterprises to adopt open-source databases such as MySQL. As a result, MySQL has become a core component of many data management solutions.
Traditionally, backup of data stored in relational databases like MySQL has been an art form, practiced by database administrators who have relied on a mix of command-line wizardry, custom scripts and, sometimes, just sheer luck. Successful data recovery often is seen as black magic, or almost. Not surprisingly, most backup and recovery strategies emphasize the backup phase, but they don't actually test whether data can be recovered successfully when it's needed.
Zmanda, Inc., a startup based in Sunnyvale, California, aims to bring sanity into the backup and recovery process of MySQL databases by incorporating industry best practices in its product—Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) for MySQL. Zmanda's strong expertise in open-source backup and recovery software comes from many years of work by the company's core engineers on the award-winning Amanda open-source backup system, a project started at the University of Maryland back in 1991.
ZRM provides a comprehensive open-source solution for backup and recovery of MySQL databases. ZRM eases day-to-day backup and recovery tasks with its Web-based Zmanda Management Console (ZMC). The management console integrates with the Zmanda Network to provide on-line documentation and other support services for ZRM. Because it is open source and supports common standards, as well as open data formats for backups, ZRM frees you from vendor lock-in. ZRM's command-line interface (CLI) integrates well into existing backup and recovery processes.
Enabling advanced backup and recovery practices, ZRM provides Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for MySQL by combining filesystem-level snapshots along with data from MySQL binary logs. Filesystem snapshots help reduce database server downtime, especially when working with large databases. ZRM uses a flexible framework of plugins for snapshotting LVM, NetApp SnapManager, Windows VSS, Veritas VxFS and Solaris ZFS. Plugins for NetApp SnapManager and Veritas VxFS are sold separately.
Zmanda offers three versions of ZRM for MySQL: the ZRM Enterprise edition, ZRM Cluster edition and ZRM Community edition. The Enterprise edition includes a graphical installer, Zmanda Management Console, command-line interface and plugin framework. Three levels of support (Basic, Standard and Premium) are available for Enterprise edition customers. An annual subscription with basic support starts at $300 (US). Customers using the NDB storage engine with MySQL Cluster can take advantage of the ZRM Cluster edition. The Community edition is a freely downloadable subset of the Enterprise edition, licensed under the GNU GPLv2, which supports LVM snapshots but does not include the ZMC and the graphical installer.
I evaluated the Zmanda Recovery Manager for MySQL Enterprise edition version 2.2. The test platform (ZRM server) was Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 installed on a PC with an Intel Dual Core 3GHz processor, 4GB of system memory and a 750GB SATA hard disk. I installed MySQL Community Server version 5.0.51a-0 locally on the ZRM server as well as on another PC with Ubuntu 7.10 server installed. With this configuration, I was able to test ZRM's ability to back up from and restore to local and remote MySQL servers. Note that MySQL versions 4.1.x are also supported by ZRM. Finally, I set up my test databases on a 50GB LVM (Logical Volume Manager) partition to test ZRM's hot backup capabilities.
Zmanda provides installation packages for ZRM on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Fedora, CentOS, Solaris and OpenSolaris. To install ZRM, download the ZRM graphical installer binary executable and ZRM license key file from the Zmanda Network site. The license key file has to be placed in /etc/zmanda/zmanda_license. A full installation of the ZRM Enterprise edition includes command-line tools, a MySQL server instance for use by ZRM, an Apache Web server instance for ZMC and a PHP 5.2.x and Perl 5.8.x environment.
Getting ZRM up and running is easy, if you're familiar with a MySQL environment on Linux. A couple minor but necessary post-installation tasks included setting up sudo permissions for the mysql system user and creating a MySQL server user account with the right privileges to perform backups and restores.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I like the idea of a ninja facing off with a jedi/sith. However, I don't believe that ninjas can't be affected with the Force. They're using the Force but just have a different understanding of it. Just like Jen'saarai, White Current users, Force witches, and many more in the Star Wars EU who have a different understanding and use of the force.
You should try facing off Galen Marek (Darth Vader's secret apprentice) with a ninja. Now THAT would be nice.
I liked it. The only problem is the scenario you mentioned. (A Jedi not being able to use the force on a ninja.) Even Jedi use the force on other force users, so, in terms of not being able to use the force on the ninja because of it's "Chakra", that doesn't make sense. It wouldn't simply negate the opposition.
Other than that flaw, it was a great flash. I would definitely enjoy seeing an even longer and elaborate version.
great stuff, that was pretty cool to watch em level a forest trying to kill each other.
Pretty good. like the creative aspect of the movie the good ending. and Rogue jedi use red light sabers; look it up Adi Gallia on Wikipedia and see her traits.
ummm ok

In this dystopian novel, Graham falls into a coma-like sleep, a sleep that he wakes from some 203 years in the future. But times have changed. Due to the wise investments of a board of trustees, Graham's money has compounded into the greatest fortune the world has ever seen, and the trustees have used it to virtually enslave the entire planet. The common people know that those who use "The Master's" money are misusing it, and they pine for a time when the sleeper will wake and set things right. But now that Graham is awake, he finds himself a pawn in a world he little understands.
Overall, I found this to be an interesting book. H.G. Wells made a lot of predictions in the book that have sense come to pass, including airplanes, the rise of trans-national corporations that are not under the control of their nation of origin, the rise of a decadent class of useless, pretty, party-people (Hollywood), and so much more. The one fly in the ointment, however, was Wells' use of race. The leaders use an army of "Negroes" to control the population, "They are fine loyal brutes, with no wash of ideas in their heads..."
But, that said, I did find this to be a fascinating, forward looking book. Mr. Wells is rightly remembered for his near prescience in matters of science, and this book shows how much he knew about the future of economics as well. I highly recommend this book.
As it turns out, Wells had other concerns on his mind. The basic idea here isn't that far removed from the old tale of Rip Van Winkle, where a man displaced in time lets his experiences be extended into metaphor for the differences between those different times, letting the native culture shock drive the plot and turning the novel into part travelogue and part commentary. It's a useful device that taps into those unconscious curious longings we all have . . . who wouldn't want a chance to see how the far future turns out? Nowadays we have literary devices like time travel machines and suspended animation but in these days with SF in its infancy you didn't have all the cliches of the genre to just pick up and use when the need arose. You had to invent them. Having done a bit about a time machine already, he decided to take a different tactic and go with the magical realism route. Thus, Graham simply gets very tired and falls asleep for a very long time.
That's when the fun begins. Feeling extraordinarily rested, Graham learns that not only has he become a sort of legendary figure to the masses for his amazing ability to . . . sleep (Tilda Swinton and your performance art exhibit, eat your heart out!) but thanks to the magic of compound interest and the fact that no one ever thought he would wake up, he basically owns ninety percent of everything in the whole world, making him a true master of the Earth.Read more ›
from the very beginning, the beauty of the writing is that it shares the sense of dislocation and naivete of the protagonist most eloquently. a man waking in a future world where what he sees around him is totally unfamiliar, yet what lies underneath is an expression of barbarism that a post-enlightment intellectual would surely find abhorrent.
the technology wells envisions is perhaps the most telling sign of his intensly perceptive style. the only inline editorial note is towards the end, where an insert advises that wells is writing of aeroplanes 11 years before the first took to the sky and of aerial fighting 18 years before the first dogfight (although once you've made it to flying, it's not that very large a mental gap at all to flying and fighting together...). alongwith telephones, televisions and the classic moving pathway or travelator (found also in asimov, the fantastic planet and others), the other main visual vocabulary is in the architecture. It's all about the scale and in this you could maybe argue (if you were stoned and theoretically ambitious...) that future comrades-in-architecture took some inspiration. which is to say that it reminds me of beijing and berlin, the only two cities i've visted that either were or are communist.
but it's the social commentary i enjoy the most. a rather dark piece of commentary it is too, marking it alongside brave new world, 1984 et. al. the most unsettling part about reading this was to ponder in 2005 the questions wells was asking in 1899.Read more ›
